[s-cars] Steering Servo Disable

[Rich Assarabowski]

For the older cars (like my '93) there is no relay.  If you have a
relay, you can probably figure out which wire to break and run it to a
switch on the dashboard.

If you don't have a relay, you can disable the Servotronic (without
pulling the plug on the steering rack) as follows.  I cut the red/white
wire on connector #9 on connector station 1.  Connector station 1 is
under the driver's dash and the #9 connector is the orange one.  Cut the
red/white wire going to the orange plug.  To switch the Servotronic
on/off, you can connect a switch here and run it to your dash.  I just
leave mine disconnected.  Pulling the plug on the PS does the same,
except you're likely to get all kinds of dirt on the contacts and it's
not as neat as this method.
